Reducing saddle bounce when increasing cadence A similar idea is riding on rollers. If you bounce too much you fall off :-) |

Adivce on what to do next with crunching / slipping gears I've had one from the 'odd stuff' - loose pulley wheel. |

While pedaling standing up, bike crank gives in as if shifting, what is causing this? Even a loosely clamped back wheel, although that's unlikely back from the bike shop. |

Pins and needles in my fingers after long rides I was another elbow-rester before I worked out it was causing me problems, I wonder how common it is? |

What am I supposed to do when my chain falls off? I find the multi-tool chain breakers a little fiddly for joining but fine for breaking. They work well in combination with something like an SRAM Powerlink. |

Pins and needles in my fingers after long rides If you're not too heavy you could reduce tire pressure too. |

Should I get a reflective jacket/coat, or more lighting and reflective strips for the bike? +1 for ankle straps. The up and down motion screams bicycle :-) |

When or how often should I replace my bike helmet? I remember reading that the Fraunhofer Institute were developing helmets that released bad smells when damaged. I don't know if it ever went anywhere. |

Is there something particularly wrong with exclusively riding a mountain bike in a city setting? Entertaining answer. I'd recommend trying out a range of tire pressures. Having lost 30kg cycling in the last 3 years I've found dropping pressure has been beneficial as my ride was getting a little 'bouncy'. |

How much of a difference do Toe Pedal Clips make in comparison to Platform Pedals? I remember falling over with toe clips trying to pull my foot out when I had panniers on. Embarrassing. |
